2 Session description Support for preparing and implementing NAMAs

3 NAMAs submitted to UNFCCC Registry o 41 NAMAs seeking support uploaded in the UNFCCC Registry 13 seeking support for development. 28 seeking support for implementation. o A mix of Investment plans in low carbon options and Strategy development NAMA - database reports (05 June 2014) - 98 NAMAs ( 90 under development, 8 under implementation) - Most of NAMAs are either implementation of policy/programms or development of strategies.

4 NAMAs seeking Support for Preparation Total 13 requests for support with a total support request of 1.3 million USD All NAMAs request grants Some indicate the contribution of the government Direct use of Financial support is requested for: o Consultancy fees o Buying equipment’s, o Expenses for developing elements of the proposal – MRV, estimation of detailed costs and financing arrangements, GHG emissions estimation and defining activities of the proposal, including studies and analysis. Technical support – focus is on support for developing and implementing policy and regulatory framework.

5 NAMAs seeking Support for implementation 28 requests with a total requested support of around USD 5 billion A few submissions also provide information on capacity building and technical support needs in terms of finance. Type of financial support requested – covers a whole range from Grants, concessional loans, loans, equity, guarantees, etc. Support requested for - o Investments; o Measures to create conducive investment environment; o Developing and implementing policy/regulatory framework; etc. o Capacity building and awareness raising

6 NAMAs seeking Support for Implementation In some cases investment is requested for demonstration activities. Grants requested for: o Institutional and human capacity development o Strengthening regulatory and policy framework, o Creating infrastructure to implement regulations and policies, such as testing labs etc. o Subsidizing the initial investment cost for new technologies. Though clarity on NMM still to emerge – Some submission have considered carbon finance to support certain components of NAMA.

7 Some observations Support is needed not only for costs to achieve additional GHG reduction benefits but also for “base costs”. Though submissions are not sufficiently clear on what type of finance is requested for which activities: o It seems recognition exists that "base costs" will be covered by FDI, Loans (private sector), Equity etc; and o Grants or guarantees for additional costs required for adopting low carbon options or covering risks of adopting low cost carbon options. Those developed with support, have greater information.

8 Some observations (2) Additional information to increase third party understanding: o Further clarity on what kind of financial support is needed for actions included in NAMAs. o Private sector role or involvement in implementing NAMAs. o Though information on sustainable development benefits is provided – further clarity on country contribution to implementing NAMAs would provide clarity on country ownership.

9 Support for NAMAs 9 entries in Registry for support to NAMAs, including one from GEF. Some are for all countries, and some for specific regions (EU-Africa infrastructure fund) Most for NAMA preparation (German IKI) Three for NAMA Implementation - NAMA Facility, EU-Africa Infrastructure fund, EU-Latin America Investment Fund. A number of initiatives to support NAMA development – through bilateral and multilateral funds. The amount of funds available is not listed Fund for implementation provide support as grant, equity, guarantees, etc.
